Accreditation

Accreditation by the American Board of First Responder Behavioral Healthcare (FRBH) affirms that an organization has established governance-embedded Workforce Behavioral Health Protection aligned with nationally defined requirements.

FRBH accreditation is an organizational determination — not a clinical evaluation.

What Accreditation Affirms

Accredited organizations demonstrate:

- Documented system-activated protection mechanisms
- Governance-level oversight and executive accountability
- Structured post-exposure activation protocols
- Cumulative exposure review processes
- Protected confidential access pathways
- Structural durability across leadership and staffing transitions

Accreditation verifies that safeguards are documented, operational, and retrievable under independent review.

Accreditation Process

FRBH accreditation is conducted through a structured, independent review process that includes:

- Application and eligibility confirmation
- Documentation review
- Independent evaluation
- Accreditation Review Council (ARC) determination

Accreditation decisions are rendered independently from operational administration.

Accreditation Term

Accreditation is granted for a defined period and is contingent upon continued conformity with FRBH requirements.

Maintenance, renewal, and surveillance procedures are formally documented.

Conformance Seal

Organizations granted accreditation may display the FRBH Conformance Seal, signifying verified alignment with the FRBH National Standard for Workforce Behavioral Health Protection.

Use of the Seal is governed by formal policy.
